Civil War Soldiers - Confederate - Misc

Arranged by soldier's surnames, these are images of card abstracts and personal papers never filed within a confederate soldier's original service record file. Papers were collected by the War Department and then placed in this series when their proper filing was uncertain or there was no other place to file them. The usual reason was that the information was insufficient or contained discrepancies and could not be positively identified with any soldier for whom there was a compiled service record.
